[Home-on-the-Range] Dillon's work related issues

[Todd Orlowski]

Hello Fellow Federationists,
My name is Todd Orlowski, I was at one time a member of the Wisconsin
Division, Wisconsin Student Devision, Missouri affiliate and also the
Missouri Students association.
I grew up in Lansing, Kansas I have lived in numerous states and also held
various jobs since 2005. I started with Walmart Corporation in 2007 and
left in 2015 I worked for stores and Sam's club. I started as a cashier and
was moved to the maintenance department for cash related issues, which
finding out years later an employee who counted down my register was in
fact stealing cash out of my drawer.  I applied for nermious position at
the company and was denied every time. I ended up calling Bentonville,
Arkansas to address my concerns. It took that to get me into a sales
positon where I thrived and started cashiering again. (no issues),  I left
due to illness and now am working for Dillons stores Inc. a sister company
of the Kroger corporation. I started in 2020 in the dairy with hardly any
training and I moved to the front end department as a cashier but never got
trained until I just got  on a register and started working. I asked
numerious times to be trained. I only got trained because I just did it, I
felt like I had to prove that I could in order to get anywhere.
This made my store manager angry I went into the office and ended up
getting trained on register.
My issues currently are I had a meeting with managment during that meeting
i was told by the store leader "Anyone can look at you and tell you have a
disability." (How is this an issue and what is that supposed to mean), She
had me do cleaning of the store not one associate taht I know of compnained
she said I was "missing things." I told her that I have a visual disability
and try to the best of my ability. She took me off that job did not even
tell me just quit scheduling me for it and gave it to someone else who did
a worse job that I did and they where able bodied., and gave it back to me
with no explanation.
Also told me "That I am glad you have all this experience but I need
someone who can do the job." my response was how can I know if I can or can
not unless I am given that chance.
She will assign me tasks I do them and then they are taken away from me.
she thinks that because I have a disability I can not do things. This so
far from the truth. I've asked to go full time and I want to apply for
other positons but I am not because I feel that I am not going to get them.
Also they cry and scream that they need people and need help but they keep
dropping hours. I have a wife with spina biffita, and a home and family. We
are both on disabilty but it does not  cover all the bills. I am at a loss
as to what to do.
I would request at this point if the NFB can intervene with my store
Dillons store 40 leavenworth kansas and the human resources department at
Dillons stores INC (Hutchison, KS)

Thank you,
Sincerly
